160numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
ccaaf5b0 161
605d715d 162\wxheading{Preamble}
ccaaf5b0 163
457e6c54 164The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
605d715d 165freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
ccaaf5b0 166Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
605d715d 167free software -- to make sure the software is free for all its users.
ccaaf5b0 168
457e6c54 169This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
ccaaf5b0 170specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
457e6c54 171other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
ccaaf5b0
RR
172your libraries, too.
173
457e6c54
JS
174When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
175price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
ccaaf5b0
RR
176have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
177this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
178if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
179in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
180
457e6c54 181To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
ccaaf5b0
RR
182anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
183These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
184you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
185
457e6c54 186For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
ccaaf5b0 187or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
457e6c54
JS
188you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
189code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
ccaaf5b0
RR
190complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
191with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
457e6c54 192it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
ccaaf5b0 193
457e6c54 194Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
ccaaf5b0
RR
195the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
196permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
197
457e6c54 198Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
ccaaf5b0 199that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
457e6c54 200library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
ccaaf5b0
RR
201want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
202version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
203the original authors' reputations.
204
457e6c54
JS
205Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
206patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
ccaaf5b0 207software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
457e6c54 208transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
ccaaf5b0
RR
209we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
210free use or not licensed at all.
211
457e6c54
JS
212Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
213GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
ccaaf5b0 214license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
457e6c54 215designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
ccaaf5b0
RR
216one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
217the same as in the ordinary license.
218
457e6c54 219The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
ccaaf5b0 220they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
457e6c54 221program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
ccaaf5b0 222changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
457e6c54 223analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
ccaaf5b0
RR
224a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
225derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
226treats it as such.
227
457e6c54 228Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
ccaaf5b0 229Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
457e6c54 230sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
ccaaf5b0
RR
231concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
232
457e6c54 233However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
ccaaf5b0 234users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
457e6c54 235libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
ccaaf5b0
RR
236permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
237preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
457e6c54 238libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
ccaaf5b0 239this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
457e6c54 240changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
ccaaf5b0
RR
241will lead to faster development of free libraries.
242
457e6c54
JS
243The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
244modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
245"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
ccaaf5b0
RR
246former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
247works together with the library.
248
457e6c54 249Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
ccaaf5b0
RR
250General Public License rather than by this special one.

254 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
605d715d 255\end{center}
ccaaf5b0 256
457e6c54 2570. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
ccaaf5b0
RR
258contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
259party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
457e6c54 260General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is
ccaaf5b0
RR
261addressed as "you".
262
457e6c54 263A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
ccaaf5b0
RR
264prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
265(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
266
457e6c54
JS
267The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
268which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
ccaaf5b0
RR
269Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
270copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
271portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
457e6c54 272straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
ccaaf5b0
RR
273included without limitation in the term "modification".)
274
457e6c54
JS
275"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
276making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
ccaaf5b0
RR
277all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
278interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
279and installation of the library.
280
457e6c54
JS
281Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
282covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
ccaaf5b0
RR
283running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
284such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
285on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
457e6c54 286writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
ccaaf5b0 287and what the program that uses the Library does.
457e6c54
JS
288
2891. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
ccaaf5b0
RR
290complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
291you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
292appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
293all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
294warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
295Library.
296
457e6c54 297You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
ccaaf5b0
RR
298and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
299fee.
300
457e6c54 3012. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
ccaaf5b0
RR
302of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
303distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
304above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
305
605d715d 306\begin{indented}{1cm}
457e6c54
JS
307a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
308
309b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
310stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
311
312c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
313charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
314
315d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
316table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
317the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
318is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
319in the event an application does not supply such function or
320table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
321its purpose remains meaningful.
322
323(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
324a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
325application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
326application-supplied function or table used by this function must
327be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
328root function must still compute square roots.)
605d715d 329\end{indented}
ccaaf5b0 330
457e6c54 331These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
ccaaf5b0
RR
332identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
333and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
334themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
457e6c54 335sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
ccaaf5b0
RR
336distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
337on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
338this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
339entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
340it.
341
342Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
343your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
344exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
345collective works based on the Library.
346
347In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
348with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
349a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
350the scope of this License.
351
457e6c54
JS
3523. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
353License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
ccaaf5b0
RR
354this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
355that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
457e6c54 356instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
ccaaf5b0 357ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
457e6c54 358that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
ccaaf5b0
RR
359these notices.
360
457e6c54 361Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
ccaaf5b0
RR
362that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
363subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
364
457e6c54 365This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
ccaaf5b0
RR
366the Library into a program that is not a library.
367
457e6c54 3684. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
ccaaf5b0
RR
369derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
370under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
371it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
372must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
373medium customarily used for software interchange.
374
457e6c54 375If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
ccaaf5b0
RR
376from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
377source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
378distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
379compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
380
457e6c54 3815. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
ccaaf5b0 382Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
457e6c54 383linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
ccaaf5b0
RR
384work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
385therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
386
457e6c54 387However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
ccaaf5b0
RR
388creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
389contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
457e6c54 390library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
ccaaf5b0
RR
391Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
392
457e6c54 393When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
ccaaf5b0
RR
394that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
395derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
396Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
457e6c54 397linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
ccaaf5b0
RR
398threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
399
457e6c54 400If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
ccaaf5b0
RR
401structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
402functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
403file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
457e6c54 404work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
ccaaf5b0
RR
405Library will still fall under Section 6.)
406
457e6c54 407Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
ccaaf5b0
RR
408distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
409Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
410whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
411
457e6c54 4126. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
ccaaf5b0
RR
413link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
414work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
415under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
416modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
417engineering for debugging such modifications.
418
457e6c54 419You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
ccaaf5b0 420Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
457e6c54 421this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
ccaaf5b0
RR
422during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
423copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
457e6c54 424directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
ccaaf5b0
RR
425of these things:
426
605d715d 427\begin{indented}{1cm}
457e6c54
JS
428a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
429machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
430changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
431Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
432with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
433uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
434user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
435executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
436that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
437Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
438to use the modified definitions.)
439
440b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
441least three years, to give the same user the materials
442specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
443than the cost of performing this distribution.
444
445c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
446from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
447specified materials from the same place.
448
449d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
450materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
605d715d 451\end{indented}
ccaaf5b0 452
457e6c54 453For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
ccaaf5b0 454Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
457e6c54 455reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
ccaaf5b0
RR
456the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
457distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
458components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
459which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
460the executable.
461
457e6c54 462It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
ccaaf5b0 463restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
457e6c54 464accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
ccaaf5b0
RR
465use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
466distribute.
467
457e6c54 4687. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
ccaaf5b0
RR
469Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
470facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
471library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
472the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
473permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
474
605d715d 475\begin{indented}{1cm}
457e6c54
JS
476a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
477based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
478facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
479Sections above.
480
481b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
482that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
483where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
605d715d 484\end{indented}
ccaaf5b0 485
457e6c54
JS
4868. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
487the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
ccaaf5b0
RR
488attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
489distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
457e6c54 490rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
ccaaf5b0
RR
491or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
492terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
493
457e6c54
JS
4949. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
495signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
496distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
497prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
ccaaf5b0
RR
498modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
499Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
500all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
501the Library or works based on it.
502
457e6c54 50310. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
ccaaf5b0
RR
504Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
505original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
457e6c54 506subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
ccaaf5b0
RR
507restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
508You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
509this License.
510
457e6c54 51111. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
ccaaf5b0
RR
512infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
513conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
514otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
457e6c54 515excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
ccaaf5b0
RR
516distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
517License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
457e6c54 518may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
ccaaf5b0
RR
519license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
520all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
521the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
522refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
523
524If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
525particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
526and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
527
528It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
529patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
530such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
531integrity of the free software distribution system which is
457e6c54 532implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
ccaaf5b0
RR
533generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
534through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
535system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
536to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
537impose that choice.
538
539This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
540be a consequence of the rest of this License.
541
457e6c54 54212. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
ccaaf5b0
RR
543certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
544original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
545an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
546so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
457e6c54 547excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
ccaaf5b0
RR
548written in the body of this License.
549
457e6c54 55013. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
ccaaf5b0
RR
551versions of the Library General Public License from time to time.
552Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
553but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
554
457e6c54 555Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
ccaaf5b0
RR
556specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
557"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
558conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
457e6c54 559the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
ccaaf5b0
RR
560license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
561the Free Software Foundation.
562
457e6c54 56314. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
ccaaf5b0 564programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
457e6c54 565write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
ccaaf5b0 566copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
457e6c54 567Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
ccaaf5b0
RR
568decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
569of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
570and reuse of software generally.

605d715d 574\end{center}
ccaaf5b0 575
457e6c54 57615. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
ccaaf5b0
RR
577WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
578EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
579OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
580KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
581IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
457e6c54
JS
582PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
583LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
ccaaf5b0
RR
584THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
585
457e6c54 58616. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
ccaaf5b0
RR
587WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
588AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
589FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
590CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
591LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
592RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
593FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
594SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
595DAMAGES.

605d715d 602\wxheading{Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries}
ccaaf5b0 603
457e6c54 604If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
ccaaf5b0 605possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
457e6c54 606everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
ccaaf5b0
RR
607redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
608ordinary General Public License).
609
457e6c54 610To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
ccaaf5b0
RR
611safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
612convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
613"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
